1951, summer.
In a courtyard house in Sijiu City, cicadas were chirping.
In the middle courtyard, the girls were jumping around under the shade of the eaves while the boys were playing their favorite siege game. Many of them were even naked.
Under the chirping of cicadas and the noise of children, He Daqing slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar room. The furnishings in the room were a little simple.
He clearly remembered that he was climbing Mount Longhu. Why did he suddenly appear in an unfamiliar room?
He subconsciously touched his kidneys. There was no discomfort. He should still be there.
He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to sit up when countless unfamiliar memories surged into his mind.
After accepting these memories, he had no choice but to admit that he had transmigrated. He had transmigrated to 1951, and he had become He Daqing, the father of the male lead, He Yuzhu, in a TV series that he had watched in his previous life.
He Daqing was born in 1917 into a family of farmers. At the age of 14, he went to the Tan family to do odd jobs. His main job was to do odd jobs in the kitchen.
It was the most popular time for the Tan family to host family banquets. The celebrities and important people in the political, military, business, and cultural circles treated the Tan family dishes as their favorite dishes. It was not too late even if they booked half a month in advance.
People outside the capital also wanted to try the Tan Family Cuisine as soon as possible.
By chance, He Daqing got to know the personal maid of the Tan family's Third Miss, Li Qiulian. She was also Lou Xiao'e's mother's personal maid. He relied on his innate bootlicking skills and shamelessness to gain Li Qiulian's favor.
With the help of Li Qiulian, the young lady's personal maid, she became an apprentice in the Tan Manor's kitchen and even became a disciple.
At the age of 17, he graduated and married Li Qiulian. Lou Xiao'e's father, Lou Zhenhua, generously gave the couple a big courtyard house as their wedding room.
She gave birth to a son, He Yuzhu, at the age of 18. However, Li Qiulian's illness was rooted in He Yuzhu. For the sake of Li Qiulian's health, the two of them did not have another child.
When she gave birth to He Yushui at the age of 26, Li Qiulian's condition worsened and she passed away in 2047.
In 1949, when the country was founded, the eldest daughter of the Tan family went on a business trip, and the chefs of the Tan family went their separate ways.
It just so happened that Lou Zhenhua donated the rolling mill to the country and became the director of the rolling mill.
As he often had to receive higher-ups, the chef of the rolling mill had limited skills, so he was invited to be a chef at the rolling mill with a high salary.
Other than He Daqing's message, there was another message.
It was about a stone gourd that she had picked up on the way to Mount Longhu. On the stone gourd, it was written, Virtuous Gourd, to help the world and bring peace, to accumulate good deeds.
He was able to come here because of the Virtue Gourd.
Looking at the stone gourd icon on his right arm, he realized that his consciousness had entered the heavenly space inside the gourd. There were trees, grass, and a small green pool.
The entire grotto-heaven space was about ten acres in size. Although it was a little small at the moment, as long as he accumulated merit, the grotto-heaven space would continue to grow.
In his previous life, he was also a fan of online novels and had read many rural novels. This kind of golden finger could accelerate the growth of farmed or planted things and improve their quality.
Thinking of this, He Daqing hurriedly got up and planned to sell some fish and chicken to put in and test if this grotto-heaven space had such a function.
When he arrived at the door, a wave of heat hit him.
At first glance, he saw his eight-year-old daughter, He Yushui, dancing with the girls under the eaves.
The ten-year-old Yan Jiecheng was being pressed down by a fat boy of the same age, Liu Guangtian. A naked little boy was holding Liu Guangtian's foot and dragging him to the side.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was eager to know the function of the grotto-heaven space, he really didn't want to go out under such a bright sun.
He walked out of the door. Just as he reached the front yard, a middle-aged man who was as thin as a bamboo pole walked in with a head full of sweat and a few snack boxes in his hand.
This person was Jia Zhangshi's husband, Jia Laodian.
Jia Laodian was a steel rolling mill's electrical worker. Jia Laodian was just his nickname. When he first started learning electrical engineering, he was always convulsed by electricity, so he was nicknamed Jia Laodian.
As for his real name, He Daqing really didn't know.
"Steward He, go out?"
When Old Jia saw He Daqing, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Yes." He Daqing nodded.
He was currently the only steward in the courtyard, so it was not popular to call him master at this time.
He was able to become the only steward in the courtyard because of his wife.
This was because the husband of the Deaf Old Lady was Lou Zhenhua's personal bodyguard and was highly regarded by Lou Zhenhua.
After moving into the hospital, Li Qiulian was very close to the Deaf Old Lady. She was just short of acknowledging her as her godmother.
After the army entered the city, they implemented military control. In order to prevent enemy spies from deliberately causing damage among the masses, coupled with the lack of manpower, many trivial matters could not be managed. Therefore, they chose stewards in the courtyard with complicated personnel to assist in management.
The first problem was that the candidate had a clean background and was trustworthy.
The husband and several sons of the Deaf Old Lady had sacrificed their lives for the country. They belonged to the families of the soldiers, so they were naturally trusted by the Military Administration.
This steward originally belonged to the Deaf Old Lady, but the Deaf Old Lady's hearing was not good. She did not hesitate to recommend He Daqing to be the steward of the courtyard.
At that time, there were only a few households in the courtyard, so only one steward was chosen.
Old Jia still wanted to say something, but He Daqing had already left the courtyard.
Originally, he wanted to let He Daqing go out later. This time, he didn't find anyone to help his son Jia Dongxu arrange a job. When he returned home, he would definitely be scolded by Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhang-shi was rude and unreasonable, and she was not popular in the courtyard. Only He Daqing, the steward, could mediate their quarrel.
He was only afraid of Jia Zhangshi, mainly because he had been electrocuted too many times when he was learning how to be an electrical engineer. He had been electrocuted so many times that he had a physiological disorder. He was inhuman and naturally could not raise his head in front of Jia Zhangshi.
Other than this reason, there was another big reason.
At that time, after he married Jia Zhangshi, he had never had a child. It was inevitable that the villagers would gossip about the couple. They were worried that their inhumane things would be exposed and become a joke among everyone, so they thought of having a child through another woman's belly.
At that time, he lived in the same dormitory as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. To be on the safe side, he asked the two of them for help.
When she was young, Jia Zhang-shi was still beautiful and charming. Yi and Liu were also at the age of hot-bloodedness. After drinking a little wine, how could they resist this temptation?
She had thought that Jia Zhangshi lived in the countryside and that it would be difficult to see her in this lifetime after the matter was over.
However, in order to give the workers hope, Lou Zhenhua gave each of the five workers who had made great contributions to the factory a room in the courtyard house.
The three of them were among the five. Yi Zhonghai lived opposite him, and his wife could not have children. All these years, he had been guarding against Yi Zhonghai snatching his son.
In any case, he could not do it, and with Yi Zhonghai watching from the side, he could only choose to tolerate the Jia Zhang-shi's unreasonable behavior.
